That's not fair.

"Haaa… That was exhausting…"

Back to his hotel suite, Sam plopped down on one of the sofas after passing his coat to Ichigo.

"Good work today, Doctor." Nine said with her usual smile, bringing him a glass of iced water and a towel. "You were truly amazing. The world will surely understand your true brilliance now."

"I don't know about that." He glanced around but couldn't see Elina anywhere. "Maybe I'm moving a little too fast after all." 

Nino teleported to the spot beside him.

"It would be more accurate to say we were always short on time." She said. "Things will move fast whether we like it or not."

"I guess you have a point." 

Placing his left arm on her shoulder, Sam pulled the Japanese doll into his embrace. She had offered to give him a list of all the questions that might be thrown his way, but he refused to the very end, stating that he should face the people head-on.
